love along the hedge




Laura asked if I would share some thoughts on gratitude, her featured theme this month at her blog, Shine the Divine, and a way for her to rest while she continues to journey with MS and it's roller coaster of symptoms. She is an artist in every way and her kindness and gratitude for life humbles me. Please read it here.

Left a comment over at Laura's... thanks for helping her to rest. May Sarton's poem made me cry. In a good way.

Denise said...

lovely. always lovely words and thoughts from you on this blog.

the poem caused me to think of my favorite words by donald miller... "i want to keep my soul fertile for the changes." i do to let things die when it is time for them to die so there can be new birth, or rebirth.

oh to be a duck!

I first fell for the photograph too. Just amazing colors and composition.

I really loved the piece and left a comment there. Your perceptions of being human bless me so very much.

All good light to you today, my dear loving friend.

BEAUTIFUL IMAGE!

I loved the poem, and your thoughts. Gratitude is more about how we look out than where we are isn't it.

Love Laura! Love you, too! Heading over to read the two of you in one place!
